Dance Vision Festivals Steven Malkus, Producer The Virtual Dance Festival 50 Glenwood Ave. Falmouth, MA 02540 508 495-3311 Email: stevenmalkus1@prodigy.net http://pages.prodigy.net/stevenmalkus1 |
The Dance Vision Festivals bring together many different people involved in
dance from all over the world, and the festivals are held in many locations
depending on the project. For the Falmouth festival last year, for example,
there was a classical Indian dancer from Bombay, India, Sufi Sacred Circle
dancers from Western Massachusetts and Modern dancers from New York City.
The leaders present workshops and performances related to the concept of
dance as a form of spiritual practice or expression. Workshops are offered
in Visioning (based on Native American practices), Creative Movement, Sacred
Circle Dances, and many other forms. The entire effort is community oriented
with as much participation as possible---with the intent also of exposing
audiences to the idea that dance in its original forms was based on
community and spirituality.
For more info please check our website (shown at left) It lists dance events from all over the world, has bulletinboards, discussion groups, essays, a gallery, music, and generally serves the spirit-dance community encouraging networking for workshops and performances, resources and information. It also promotes the Dance Vision Festival which has had festival dates in New York City and Cape Cod. |
